Similarly, a website called MyBikeLane Toronto lets cyclists post their encounters with bike lane violators, including their location, pictures of the vehicles and tallies of the worst repeat offenders.

Tammy Thorne, founding editor and publisher of dandyhorse magazine, says that while social media can be an outlet to raise awareness, the real problem lies in enforcement.

“What we really need is enforcement by the Toronto police and the parking authority. If we don’t have enforcement, all the fun social media things won’t make a difference,” she told CBC News.
